The WICKER MAN is NOT a pet. This is the only PET available from the Hallow's End vendors. (Dorothy is the Alliance Vendor. The Vendors for both sides are near the Wicker Men.)

Darn it - this is to those who have read Terry Pratchett, and know Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg etc - Granny W, Was given the kitten and didn't know what to do with it. She would never hurt it - but having any pet is against her nature

Actually, I thought I picked up a breadcrumb for this quest line from one of the givers of the Hallow's End Dailies.

It reminds me of The Luggage from the Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett, too.

I am also glad its available at a low level.

For those doing the questing, IF you have the Traveling Tundra Mount (from Dalaran) you do not have to search for vendors or use the AH for 5 crystal vials, and 5 arcane powders. Your mount sells these items.

I am wondering if Blizz changed the drop rate on subsequent patches.
I know I got my Scorched Stone before I saw all five "Lts of the Flame."
I had read Wowhead and didn't expect this guy for about a month.
I was very surprised when it dropped in less than a week.
I can only hope that the same is true for others.

Please, please be patient for this pet to drop. It is NOT in a lock box. I am well aware of my guild situation, and my own (poor) abilities. That I received this pet still amazes me

I recently got this pet. It is not my favorite because if I am in a low level area I don't want or need it around. And I am in low level areas questing for Loremaster, farming for pets, or doing Archaeology.

HOWEVER, it is the pet that has triggered the most questions from other players as many want it. But as they learn that is comes from TCG loot they are not happy.

There are exactly 33 raptors. 19 are in the southeastern section, and 14 are in the northwestern section. Good for frozen herbs, about 50% are Gold Clover, 25% are Tiger Lily and 25% are Talandra's Rose. On average, a tad less than 2 skins per kill and about 99 kills/hour.

It took me about 1250 kills before this hatchling dropped for me, and a week of farming, with at least 100 kills per session. I counted 1228 kills, but I had a few more when doing archaeology in the area.

You need to be lvl 85. You pick up the chain in Stormwind Harbor (Alliance). Breadcrumb on the Heros Call board.

You get the pet early in the chain.

You need to finish the chain to prevent STV from being phased. The last quest puts you in Booty Bay. You have to be dismounted to talk to the person Bwemba has been looking for. This is necessary to stop the phasing of STV.

A swing on LadyHryaeda's route gives you 21 bogflare weedlers to kill. Most are on the Serpent Lake side of the isles, but there is one that is tucked away on the Blades Edge side. I would pick that one up on my return flight to the beginning of the farming route.

Mine dropped today after approx. 650 kills. I am not lucky. I have been going after the Razzashi Hatchling with more than 1500 kills and no luck on that.
